General information about the trial
|
|||
Main objective of the trial |
The aim of this study is to evaluate the use of perivenous local anaesthesia during open SFJ ligation and GSV stripping. The hypothesis is that this could be associated with improvements in pain, QoL, and recovery to normal activities.

Recruitment
|
||||||||||
Recruitment details |
Prior to introduction of UK NICE guidance CG168, patients were offered the intervention either endothermal ablation or surgery. Subsequent to July 2013, participants were offered surgery at surgeon or patient preference in a non-trialist clinic, where the anatomy was not favourable for endovenous procedure or guided by patient choice. | |||||||||
Pre-assignment
|
||||||||||
Screening details |
Inclusion criteria included adults with primary symptomatic SVI, CEAP grades C2–C6, suitable to undergo open surgical ligation and GSV stripping on Duplex ultrasound (DUS) assessment. Incompetence was defined as reflux of at least 0.5 s on spectral Doppler analysis | |||||||||

Blinding implementation details |
Patients were randomised by an online digital randomisation programme (www.sealedenvelope.com) after invitation to participate and prior to the procedure. The outcome of the randomisation was concealed from the participant. Patients were randomised to either a standard open surgical procedure under General Anaesthesia (GA) (GA Group) or to the addition of tumescent (G þ T group) once they had been listed for surgical management.

Dosage and administration details |
The solution was made up of 900 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride solution with 100 ml of 1% lidocaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine added. Each bag of tumescent anaesthesia was for single-use only. The anaesthesia was administered using a pedaloperated peristaltic pump (Nouvag DP-20, Nouvag, Goldach, Switzerland) along the GSV (with PIN stripper in situ) with the use of DUS guidance, at a target of 10 ml per cm. Tumescent anaesthesia was also infiltrated into the groin incision and around all tributaries and perforators to be treated, this was performed by the operating surgeon, competent in DUS and endovenous ablative techniques. Patients in the control group received local anaesthesia consisting of 1% lidocaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine to the groin incision and stripper exit site only as per standard practice.
